My youngest 2 kids were acting up, I am sure it had to do with knowing mom was leaving them for 9 days. I had just finished breaking up another fight between them and was on my way back downstairs (main floor) to finish up the backpacks.
Coming down the stairs I heard someone getting into the backpacks. As I got closer I seen the butt of our coon hound (120# dog who is led by his nose) and knew that wasn't good. Sure enough Gunner was helping himself to the snacks in the backpacks, wrappers and all. In my hurry to get him out of them I swung my arm at his butt in a back-handed fashion and I caught his hip bone with my lower arm. I completely broke through my unla
(the smaller of the 2 bones in my fore arm) about 2 inches away from my wrist. My whole arm felt like it was on fire.Side-note... Gunner kept on eating until one of the kids pulled him off the food.
The kids called Mark in the house and he could see right away from the instant swelling and my intense pain that we needed to go to the ER.
Even I could read the x-ray. It was so obvious.
Gunner still thinks he is my bestest friend and has to be by me... that or he was just taking advantage of the shade.

It put a whole new perspective on "the body of Christ" for you didn't it? It's funny how the theme for this trip was planned long ago and how it all worked so perfectly into so many lives!
Jen, I was wondering how you broke your arm. Interesting! I am not sure I would have fond feelings for a hound who caused such a painful break. Oh, he does look like such a nice dog. I am sure he is sorry.
Hope you are healing well. You will never forget that mission trip! I am sure you have many more stories to tell.
No I'm sure it's out of guilt and a desire to make it up to you and protect you! After all he has a heart of gold! A nose for food, but a heart of gold! Who could stay made at that face!
They are called "man's best friend" I think his face says it all "I'm sorry"
Glad to see you are doing better. Take Care.
Ohhh... I don't really like my dog... I say, "he's eats my grocery money." LOL Your's was eating your groceries AND helped you break your arm. I guess my dog isn't 1/2 bad.
I still say you are a trooper! Wow!
What cute pictures :) Shame on him for the pain he caused though!
Now we know the story! He is quite the big dog and I can see how that would happen. Hope that your ulna heals well. Enjoy the itchyness inside the cast!
Eww! OUCH!!!
